Summary: This API is enabling a website to request a user's credentials from a 
user agent, and helps the user agent to correctly store user credentials for 
future use. It helps the LoginManager to get rid of most of the heuristics.
Bug: https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1156047

Platform coverage: Desktop first, every platform that today has LoginManager

Suggested Additions: none, minimal viable API e.g. no password generation help 
by the UA. Federated Identity support is probably removed in the next version.
